SAFE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 3, 1922.

Application filed August 13, 1919. Serial No. 317,386.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, GRACE T. Hnnnron, a,

- and the like and function as'a pin-cushion,

. thereby tending to deceive a sneak thief, or

other intruder, and divert his attention when seeking valuables.

Other objects and advantages of this safe will be seen as the description proceeds.

In this specification and the annexed drawings, the invention is illustrated in the form considered to be the best, but it is to be understood that the invention is not lim ited to such form, because it may be embodied in other forms, and it is also to be understood that in and by the claim following the description it is desired to cover the invention in whatever form it may beembodied.

In the drawings V Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved invention, and

Figure 2 is a cross section on the line IIII of Fig. 1. V

The numeral 5 designates the body portion of a safe, the contour of which being such as to produce an ornamental figure; in this instance a sittingChinese figure. The numeral 6 indicates a depository, in this instance formed only in, the upper part of the body portion 5.

It is obvious that this depository might extend further into the body of the safe.

The numeral 7 indicates a closure for the depository 6, and is formed in the shape of a hat having downwardly extending sides which engage in this instance the head of the figure. The usual ornamental ball and tassel 8 further add to the disguise and form a ready means for withdrawing the hat from the head when it is desired to gain access to the depository 6. The closure 7- is provided with a partition 9 which supports a filling 11 and acts as a pin cushion for pins stuck in the hat 7, it being understood that the hat 7 is madeof fabric or the like which will allow pins 12 to project therethrough. Pins 13 and 14 are adapted to pass through the lower edge of the cover 7', through openings 16 and 17 for the purpose of holding the hat upon the head, these pins being similar to pins 12 will conceal the fact that the hat is removable, and therefore assist in the disguise.

It will thus be seen that I have created a safe which will fulfill the purposes of a safe, and at the same time will make a very useful ornament as well as a useful pin cushion, the whole constituting a manikin, adapted to stand upon a mantel or bureau, or elsewhere,

andlead an intruder to believe that it is simply an ornamental figure.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the United States is as follows A safe in the form of a manikin, having a receptacle therein adapted to receive evvelry, and provided with a cap adapted to receive pins and function as a pin-cushion, said cap having a depending cover extending below its lower edge, and adapted to embrace the head of-the figure and receive pins pass-- 'ing therethrough into the head of the figure to fasten the'cap upon the figure.

' In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.
